It's sort of dark and/or depressing, but it should make for an interesting read. You can start reading as soon as you can get a hold of it. Our discussion thread will probably start on April 10 or so. Also, we'll be using this reading guide to help our discussion/analysis: http://www.readinggroupguides.com/guides3/lovely_bones1.asp<BR/>Once you finish reading, you might want to look over the suggested topics/questions. I wouldn't look before, because it might spoil the book for you. Anyway.

If it's going to be a problem, I suppose we could read <I>The Lovely Bones</I> instead. Please let us know soon whether you are able to get a hold of a copy of <I>Thank You, Jeeves</I>, so that we may plan accordingly. (Of course, you could just listen to the audio version if you wish.)ahem.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13396086843097926424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177818.post-1143336242977727642006-03-25T18:24:00.000-07:002006-03-25T18:24:00.000-07:00Okay, well I pick Thank You, Jeeves simply because...Okay, well I pick <I>Thank You, Jeeves</I> simply because I've wanted to read it for a while.<BR/><BR/>Some background for the book: P.G. Wodehouse wrote several short stories about the adventures of Jeeves and Wooster (somewhat similar to the Dr. Holmes series... I think). <I>Thank You Jeeves</I> is the first full length novel he wrote in the Jeeves series. I hope it's not too confusing... I could barely understand the summary of the book.ahem.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13396086843097926424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177818.post-1143312180605521282006-03-25T11:43:00.000-07:002006-03-25T11:43:00.000-07:00You can all pop up for me any time!
